Juicy Bacon Lucy

bgebrent

Tasted great but wasn't "juicy"!  Used the English Cheddar I had on hand, grated it and mixed it in with some home made bacon bits.  Avocado-mayo, jalapeño-dill pickle relish and sautéed onions.  Really tasty, just not the gooey I was hoping for.  Next time I'll stick with a better melting cheese.  What cheeses beyond American have you had success with?  Cheers.
SWMBO without bun:
And then with the bun.  All was done on the egg albeit I didn't photo the food there.

Great looking grub brother. I love this cheese on just about everything. It is fantastic.

Man that looks like an awesome burger even if it didn't have an ooey-gooey center.  I find a combination of sharp cheddar and either Gruyere or Havarti work great for a grilled cheese so they should work in a lucy.

Looks great!  I've tried the following cheeses: Gruyère, Swiss,  Havarti, certain cheddars, a mix of fontina & Gruyère is nice and grating some helps too (I use our presto to make quick work of it). So many cheeses so little time

Thanks for all the feedback brothers, I truly appreciate it!  @SGH, no buffalo mozzarella?

Great looking burger. Plain American cheese works well along with havarti, cheddar, Gouda. Lots of good options. Gotta be careful though, I've bit into a few burgers and had cheese/filling fly out the side!

@byrne092, cheese flying out the side sounds like victory!!  That and egg yolk!  Thank you!

You want fresh cheese, rather than stuff aged over a year. Most shredded cheese will work, since it's designed for melting.

Looks terrific!  I like plain American cheese in a Juicy Lucy.
